Specification of Letters Ifa'tent. Patented July 16, 1918.

Application filed October 19, 1916. Serial No. 126,486.

[0 all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, Gnoncn WV. S'roRc1-I, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Appleton, county of 'Outagan'iie, and State of Wisconsin, have invented new and useful Improvements in Carburetors, of which the following is a specification;

My invention relates to in'iprovements in carburetors, and it pertains more especially to that class which are used for supplying explosive mixture for automobile motors.

The object of my invention is to provide a more simple and inexpensive carburetor than those heretofore made, in whichall floats and springs are dispensed with, andwhereby the same may be used on-rough or uneven roads without liability of the gaso-lene 'or other liquid fuel being spilt, and without the liability of easily getting out of order. Also by which there is no danger of an automobile burning from back fire, etc.

My invention is further explained by ref. erence to the accompanying drawing, in

which- I Figure 1 represents a vertical section drawn on line 1, 1 of Fig. 2, and

Fig. 2 is a plan View.

Like parts are identified by the same refs erence numerals throughout both views.

Gasolene or other liquid fuel is led to the carbureter through the duct 1, when it passes thence-up through the duct 2 and the flow of gasolene to the carbureteris controlled by the manually actuated valve 3, said valve being provided with a screw thread 4 and a chased hand nut 5 by which it is adaptedto be turned forwardly and backwardly as may be required to open and close. said duct 2. 1

Air is simultaneously admitted with gasolene or other liquid fuel to the carburetor through the duct 6, when' it passes the baffle plate 7 through the opening 8 and the-baflie plate 9, when it becomes thoroughly mixed with gasolene, whereby the gasolene is converted into an explosive mixture.

10 represents a duct which leads to a motor, not shown. It will be understood that with each forward movement of the piston in the motor a partial vacuum is formed in the duct 10 and mixing chamber 11, whereby the valve 12 is automatically raised with each forward stroke of the piston, and whereby the gasolene vapor which has been generated in the carbureting chamber13 passes thence to the motor.

The gasolene is admitted to said carbureting chamber 13 through the port 14, and said port is opened and the valve 15 withdrawn from the passage 2 with each upstroke of the valve 12, and said valve 12'together with the valve 15 and sleeve 16 are forced downwardly to near the closed position, shown in Fig. 1, by the reVOluble movement of the curved member 17 which rests upon-the upper side of the collar 18.

Attention is called to the fact that the collar 18, sleeve 19, sleeve 16 and valves 12 and 15 are all connected together by threaded joints and are-all adapted to be simul taneously moved downwardly by the movement of the curved member 17, as the same is brought to the position shown in Fig. 1, whereby the large valve 12 and valve 15 are both simultaneously brought to near their seats. When, however, the motor is started the member 17 is moved toward the right, reference being had to both Figs. 1 and 2, whereby the upper end of the member 17 is broughtabove thecollar 18, and whereby said valves are both free to be lifted by the upward pressure of the combustible mixture beneath the lower side of said valve 12. The curved member- 17 is pivotally supported from. the duct 10 bythe vertical bolt 20, hub 21 and arms 22 and 23.

To the free upper end of the member 17 is a lever 24 which is connected therewith by the bolt-25, whereby motionis manually communicated to the carburetor by moving said lever 2 from left to right, as previously stated, and whereby the supply of combustible mixture is cut off by'the reverse movement of said lever 24., whereby said valves arebrought to the position shown in Fig. 1. '1 Attention is called to the fact that the carbureter may be supplied with a greater or less quantity of gasolene, regardless of the movement of the Valves 12 and 15 by the adjustment of said valve 3. Also that by turning said valve 3 inwardly the entire supply of gasolene will be shut off. Attention is also called to the fact that in case of back fire from the motor the valves 12 and 15 will both be simultaneously and quickly closed, whereby the liability of a fire leading to the gasolene in the carbureting chamber 13 is entirely obviated.

It will be understood. that the mixture controlling valves 12 and feed controlling valve 15 are not forced entirely to their seats by the action of the curved bearing 17, but inis permitted torunslowly until the igniting mechanism: 1s turned. oil. The valve 1-2: is

rigidly connected to: the sleeve 19- and said valve 12 is held partially open by theathreaded ports of said sleeve with the inclosed sleeve 16,. as shown in Fig. 1.. The valvex15i is permanently connected with the rod 26 and said? rod is in turn threaded to the in nor wall of said sleeve 1H6 when it is also held partially open.

thus described my' invention; what 7 I claim as new and desire to secure by Lettom Patent, is v 1. In a devicexof the: described class, the combination of a carbureting chamber" pro vided with: both air and gasolene inlet ductsavalve for controlling the passage through one of said: ducts, a mixing chamberlocated in: close proximity to said carbureting' chamher, a mixture actuated valve for controlling the passage oi? said? combustible: mixture 7 from said carbureting chamber to said mixing chamber, manually actuated means fio-r simultaneously forcing both of said. last named valves toward their seats, bothof said valves being connected together and adapted to be simultaneously opened by the pressure of said combustible mixture as it passes from said carbureting to; saidmixing chamber. c 7

2; In a device of the described class, the

combination of a carbureting chamber pro vided with both air and gasolene inletducts,

valve for controlling the passage of gasolene from one of said ducts'to said carbureting" ehamber, mixing chamber located in: close proximity to said carbureting chamleer,v amixture actuated valve for controlling multaneously forcing both of said last named valves toward their seats, comprising an in- CllIlGClOlI'CUlal' bearing revolubly supported above said valves; said bearing being adapt ed as it is-turnedin one direction to force said valves toward their seats, and when turned in the opposite direction to permit said valves to.- be opened by the pressure of said: combustible mixture against the lower side of said mixture controlled valve, both of said valves bein connected together and; adapted to. be simultaneously opened by the pressure of said combustiblemixture.

3 In a device: of the described class-,' the combination of a cfarbu-reting chamber pro-v vided with both air and gasolene ducts, a manually actuated valvefor controlling thepassage of gasolene through said gasol'ene duct, a. second valve for controllingthe passage of gasolenefrom said duct to a mixing: chamber, a mixing chamberlocated in close proximity" to said carbu-reting chamber, a large valve for controlling, the passage of combustible mixture from said carbureting chamber to: said mixing chamber; manuallyactuated means for forcing said controlled valve toward its seat, said valve being adapted to be opened by the. passage of combustible vapor from said carbureting chamber to said mixing chamber, an inclined curved bearing revolubly supported above said last mentioned valve,; said bearing being adapted as it is moved in one direction to force said valve to its seat, and whenmoved' the opposite direction to permit said. valve to; be opened by the pressure of the combustible fluid in said carburetingichamber, and ahand actuated lever afiixed to saidcurved bearing, all substantially as and for the purpose specified. 7
